Terminal is a high-stakes productivity system. Set real consequences on your goals, assign a witness, and let an AI judge your excuses. The to-do app with teeth.
Not another reminder app. A full accountability system with real stakes, real witnesses, and real consequences.
Set a commitment interval — daily, weekly, whatever you need. Miss a check-in and a real financial penalty fires automatically. No warnings, no excuses.
Assign a trusted person to watch your commitments. They can Execute the penalty or grant Mercy. Social accountability that actually works.
Have a legitimate excuse? Appeal your missed deadline. Our AI reviews your case — text or voice — and rules: Forgive or Punish. No bias. No feelings.
Your stakes go where it hurts. Choose your nemesis (anti-charity), a cause you love, or donate to Terminal. Maximum loss aversion, by design.
Winning? Auto-post your streak to LinkedIn or Twitter. Failing? A confession goes out publicly. Fame and shame are powerful motivators.
Not all projects need stakes. Organize into Someday, Maintenance, Active Sprint, and Archived. Add intensity only where you need it.
Four steps from vague intention to consistent action.
Drop your goal into Terminal. No pressure — it starts in the Someday bucket until you're ready to commit.
Choose a commitment interval and optional financial penalty. Assign a Witness if you want social accountability.
Check in regularly by logging a Work Session. Short notes, time tracked — whatever proves you showed up.
Miss a deadline? The penalty fires. Hit your streak? Optional social broadcast goes out. Either way, it's real.
We never take a cut of your penalty money. That would be a conflict of interest.
For those testing the waters.
For serious goal-setters.
For high performers.
The honest answers.
